A DAY IN THE LIFE OF No.14

Whether you’re 25 or 65, our guests span the ages. But at the core what they all have in common is a desire to recharge and relax at end of an adventure filled day, in a warm, welcoming, and comfortable place that has a great atmosphere. Some may also be drawn by the affordable price; others just like No.14 as a unique place to stay. See more on our socials. Tag @14LovelSt or email us with your pics to share (and enter our monthly guest photo comp). We love seeing them!

SEE & DO

There's SO much to see and do in the Blue Mountains, we can't possibly include it all here - and even beyond the natural wonders! So much so that Annette wrote a book in 2022 about everything else there is to do up here, and why she doesn't miss Sydney (soz). Check out the book Out of the Blue her, and below are some starters on both natural and other wonders – just click on any image to learn more.

You can also subscribe for more in-depth information and get to access the free guides to download. Or better still, why not get in touch with us directly and tell us what you're interested in, and we'll work out a bespoke itinerary for you during your stay.

Time Travel

Decades, thousands or millions of years...

The European settlement of the Blue Mountains included it being the playground of Sydney. The Carrington hotel, and Hydro Majestic are reminders of those days. Beautiful Art Deco features and restored grandeur. Vintage lovers love the Blue Mountains.

Of course, the Blue Mountains was and always will be Aboriginal land. As well as the iconic Three Sisters, you can see infamous history of The Gully in Katoomba, which has been returned to traditional custodians. Red Hands Cave in Glenbrook is another popular well-preserved example of the Aboriginal people's lives, going back thousands of years in Australia.

Jenolan Caves is a 'must do' day trip from Katoomba. It is the oldest known and dated open cave system in the world, around 340 million years old.
